Toile Chairs

 I finished these slipcovers on my english roll arm chairs a couple of years back.  It took me forever (as in a good year forever) to make them.   This was partly due to procrastination, pregnancy, and my old sewing machine that worked some days and not so much on others.

 

  I chose Toile because not only do I love toile, but I love how it looks paired with so much stuff; it's such a great neutral.  Not for everyone, I know, but definitely for me.  Even better, it has been surprisingly forgiving and kid friendly.   The only problem with this print is if you want to turn the cushion over, the inset panel is upside down.  Didn't figure this out until I recieved my fabric shipment in the mail. It's a good thing to note:)

 Well, this close-up shows my not-so-fabulous sewing skills!  We had to take the wheels off of the feet because the kids jump to sit and the wheels will tear up the floor.  This way the chairs also stay in place.   A little function before form here!
 

 

 

Here is a chair pre-slipcover. 

 I have a sofa to match these that I have yet to start a slipcover for.  I am currently on the hunt for fabric and it will be my summer project.

These chairs are so comfortable to snuggle up in!
